Château Pichon Baron is a Deuxième Grand Cru Classé from Pauillac and is one of the iconic châteaux of the Left Bank. The two towers and the château reflect the estate’s history. The name refers to the Pichon family, which played an important role in the vineyard’s development.
The vineyards are located on the gravelly soils of Pauillac, where Cabernet Sauvignon plays a major role. The château is part of the AXA Millésimes wine portfolio. The combination of a distinctive terroir, careful selection, and a long history secures Pichon Baron’s place among the great Bordeaux wines.
2022 was an exceptionally warm and dry year in Bordeaux. Pichon Baron displays a rich and concentrated style, with ripe tannins and enough freshness to balance its powerful fruit core.
Blackcurrant, black cherry, graphite, and cocoa complement the wine’s powerful character. The tannins give the wine structure and allow for further aging in the bottle. Over time, notes of tobacco, cedar, and earthy nuances may complement the fruit notes. The balance between ripeness and freshness remains key to the overall profile.
Serve this wine with lamb, roast beef, or a dish with mushrooms. After opening, let it rest in the glass for a moment and taste it before deciding whether decanting is necessary. Store the bottle in a dark, cool place at a stable temperature. An older Bordeaux may develop sediment; if so, stand the bottle upright beforehand and pour carefully.
